First of all, there is a question. Is there really a rule to follow in winning the lottery? Everyone must have his own answer to this question, but often the answer is absurd, either because the "grandfather" holds a dream, or because a group of numbers suddenly flashed out and then won the lottery. I have to say, there are quite a few such cases in the news.
However, luck still accounts for the vast majority. Although many experts have summed up various calculation methods, if it were really that easy, these so-called experts would have made a fortune by themselves. The only person who really studied the law of feasibility was a mathematician named Steven Mandel.
Stefan Mandel is Jewish. He likes studying mathematics very much since he was a child. However, due to limited family conditions, he failed to study mathematics in depth. After graduating early, I joined a company as an accountant, earning less than 100 yuan a month. Especially after marriage, economic conditions have become particularly embarrassing.
Stefan Mandel began to pin his hopes on the lottery, but he bought it several times and failed. He stared at the numbers on the lottery, and suddenly his math brain began to sprout the idea of studying the rehearsal rules. He used his excellent computing ability, consulted a lot of mathematical data, and finally summed up a set of formula algorithms.
We know that lottery tickets are generally six-digit, and you can choose the number freely in this six-digit channel. As long as the number you choose is consistent with the winning number announced by the lottery operator, you can win the first prize. The management bonus is rich, starting at least one million yuan, but the probability is too small.
Take the familiar two-color ball as an example. The probability of winning the first prize is 1.772 million. However, Stefan Mandel can calculate the top five of the six winning numbers through his own algorithm, which reduces the number of winning lottery tickets to several thousand and greatly improves the probability.
However, poor Stefan Mandel can't afford thousands of lottery tickets. He found some friends and told them exactly what he thought. Finally, he raised money to buy all the lottery tickets calculated by the lottery formula. Sure enough, he won $20000, but his own share was $4000.
The money also expanded his ambition, and then he moved to Australia to live. In order to win the first prize, he persuaded hundreds of investors to buy millions of portfolios and finally won millions of dollars, but after deducting taxes and investor returns. He can't gain much by himself. It never rains but it pours. After the Australian government noticed it, it specially revised the lottery law.
Later, he moved to the United States and won more than a dozen first prizes in the same way, which attracted the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and even the United States was forced to amend the lottery law. In 2004, Stefan Mandel did it again in Israel, but he was arrested and sentenced to two years in prison for fraud. After he was released from prison, he honestly returned to Australia, never bought a lottery ticket again, and lived a down-to-earth life with his family with the rest of the money.
